My story is atypical: I came to photography seriously in my late thirties. I am living a second life.

Learning the craft and finding my voice as an artist has been one of the hardest and most rewarding things I have done — alongside fatherhood.

Photobooks have been my best teachers and investments, but I have also been fortunate enough to learn directly from some of the best — through workshops, long-term mentorship, and more recently through creative collaboration.

I won’t pretend there is a formula for becoming a published author, securing commissions, or gaining gallery representation. There isn’t. As Robert Doisneau said: “If I knew how to take a good photograph, I’d do it every time.”

What I can say is that my photographic practice has been possible because I worked in a certain way and followed certain beliefs and principles. I believe I can help someone with the right motivation and sensibility to deepen their practice and find their way toward a coherent body of work.

The areas I focus on fall broadly into four:

– Understanding what makes a strong individual photograph and a compelling body of work

– Finding and refining your artistic voice

– Building that body of work with intention

– Thinking toward materiality and the photobook

This kind of collaboration works best over a sustained period — six months to a year. I adapt to where you are, provided I believe I can bring real value to your practice at this particular moment.

I work with a small number of people at any one time. Before anything else, I want to make sure there is a genuine fit — that we can work well together, and that I am the right person to accompany you at this stage of your journey. By fit, I mean someone who is serious about their work, open to honest dialogue, and ready to commit to a direction.

To find out, I’d ask you to send me a short note about yourself along with a portfolio or body of work in progress. From there, we can have a conversation of around 45 to 60 minutes to see whether it makes sense to go further.
